You did not have to go to work to have her.
You did not have to build a fortress for her.
You did not have to create a garden for her.
You did not have to hire the police for her.
It was enough not to create an architecture in which men fight among themselves.
It was enough to create an architecture in which
all men stand together.
An architecture in which no man stands alone.
Your attachment is your bondage.
You could have had all of them to choose from.
And you chose one,
and in the name of that one,
you chose to fight your brother.
Why, man, did you give up your own safety?
Your greatest safety is among other men.
Your greatest danger is when you stand against other men.
A woman will not save you.
She will not save your children.
Another man will.
So why do you invest your intelligence in that which will not save you?
In that which will continue to demand from you,
expect from you:
Work.
Sacrifice.
Fighting.
Fighting yourself.
Fighting another man.
Why do you harm yourself?
Why do you make things harder for yourself?
Were you born with free will,
with intelligence,
and with personal choice
in order to walk uphill?
In order to destroy your own safety?
The safety of men?
The safety of brothers?
The safety of children?
In the name of what?
In the name of an imagination that was never yours.
And you are supposed to destroy yourself and others
in the name of something you did not choose?
What you are trying to solve was never yours to solve.
You will not solve it
by continuing to try harder.
By working more.
By building more.
By walling off more.
By providing more.
By fighting other men harder.
By fighting yourself harder.
No matter how much you give,
the demand
will still be there.
Because what drives the demand is not something your effort can reach.
Instead of wasting yourself,
start being a man.
Start using male potential.
For yourself.
Not against yourself.
Not against your own safety.
This is why you have reason.
This is why you have a human body:
to act in accordance with yourself.
For yourself.
For your own safety.
